An honour and a privilege to be able to hear this for the first time on camera, with you guys.

If you started the album at midnight when it was released, the song Twenty to One starts at 12:40, twenty to one. “Look at the time it’s twenty to one”. Yes Dave, it fucking is.

Dave is simply an artist that knows how to paint his canvas and creates art that is simply a masterpiece. Yet he is only 23 years old. It's just amazing to witness...absolutely true or absolute facts?

Dave really brought in the Avengers for In The Fire 😳

'Oh fuck off' is how everyone felt when Giggs came in on In The Fire. Dave took the piss with that track.

9:17 That bar is insane. The part before it: So he’s saying he’s playing with swords, not a gun, and relating to Blaszczykowski. Blaszczykowski witnessed his mum get stabbed to death by his dad. Then a “Ronin” is a samurai who grew up woth no master. A ronin also carries “2 swords”. So, cos he grew up without his mum, and no dad cos he was in prison for life, Dave talks about him as a “Ronin”. This guy is insane.

one of the best lyricists i’ve ever heard, and he’s only 23. let that sink in.

That cry at the end of Heart Attack. That's the realest moment I've ever heard in a studio album.

This album deserves every award possible

James Blake absolutely killed his feature. Excited to see what he does with his upcoming album, especially the tracks with JID and SZA

Heart Attack is the song of the year and I love how at the end he just goes acapella like the beat just goes "i give up, I cant hang with him anymore". Fucking masterful unbelievable tune and frankly we are lucky to be living in a time when music like this is being made

When you realise the album dropped at midnight and 40 minutes into the listen Dave tells you to "look at the time it's 20 to 1". Slickness and wittiness is too easy for him man

Anybody else hold back tears listening to this album? Jesus

"Watch game delicate tutankhamun there's money in skeletons" Skeletons as in the watches. Skeletons as in tutankhamun buried in his riches. Skeletons as in people who have been killed on the streets. Crazy.

Heart attack is just so special. Makes me feel so emotional, from the subject matter of the track to the call back and growth from panic attack. It’s perfect as far is I’m concerned and may now be my new favourite Dave track.

“Young black art collector, I could take the pressure” the si unit for pressure is pascal (PA), relating to the French artist pascal.

Giggs hops on the track out of nowhere “ohhhhh fuck off” 😂😂😂

Fucking love Dave man. He really defines the word "artist". And when I met him, he was one of the most genuine people I ever met. Guys the same age as me, it's fucked. My question is.... How many fucking books does this man read? LMAO he's citing shit like Shakespeare, referring to all sorts of mythology, etc. It's insane what this guy can do

“Key workers but they couldn’t even get in the door” that broke me

James Blake's feature and his production work are my favourite parts of this album. He's too special

Finally more people are reacting to this album. It’s so mf fire 🔥

btw, I believe its Daniel Kaluuya at the end of Three Rivers and Survivors Guilt

When first listening to this I didn’t know what to do, I sat for like 20 mins after and didn’t know how to react, amazing album

We’re All Alone 0:17 Verdansk 3:31 Clash - skipped In the Fire 6:14 Three Rivers 10:42 System 14:23 Lazarus 15:17 Law of Attraction 16:03 Both Sides of A Smile 17:04 Twenty To One 20:37 Heart Attack 22:30 Survivor’s Guilt 34:47 LOVE 🙃

Cried as soon as I heard what Dave’s mom was saying at the end of heart attack. Incredible.

As an American I can say I love that Dave got me completely immersed in the British rap scene. Also of course JD😁

I won’t lie, this album passed over me the first time I heard I just thought it was okay. But I relate to this album so much. As a son of a Nigerian immigrant who is also a nurse parts of this album was genuinely hard to listen to because of how close it hit home. Thanks Dave

Always love these reactions, You simply just get it. Not intrusive, yet informative, Not over the top, yet Emotional. Most people gloss over the music and just watch it for "views" etc you watch what you enjoy and it shows. Keep these coming Jon!

The surprise of putting in the fire on for the first time and hearing Fredo then Ghetts then Giggs then Meeks was just phenomenal. What an album.

Not the best young rapper in the UK. He's the best young rapper anywhere.

This isn’t an album, it’s a fucking Masterpiece ……..🐏🐏

I've listened to this album all the way through about 30 times, and every time I clock something I hadn't before. 23 years old, the same age as me. The guy is absolutely insane. I appreciate your genuine reactions so much, times where you were speechless and other times when you were emotional. It's just a masterpiece.

Dave can just create an atmosphere like no one else can. You feel like you’re in the studio with him while he’s telling you these stories

BLOWN AWAY. Man, Santan delivered again and honestly ‘In The Fire’ took me out of it couldn’t believe it. Loved the reaction Jon 💫

Dave operates on a higher level. The lyricism, the intelligence, the storytelling. He's more than a rapper; he's a poet. The best out there right now by a country mile. It ain't even close.

"It's f*cking difficult to be even remotely proud to be British, but I hold hope in the Britishness that I believe in" Jon that line hit me different

As a guy from Switzerland where only really US rap is popular, I had never heard of Dave before watching the BRITs a couple days ago. I remember cheering for ‘30’ winning Best Album. When Dave won best Rap Artist, I was confused as I didn’t know anything about it. Then came ‘… In The Fire’ and I had shivers all over my body. One of the best live performances I’ve ever seen. Today I listened to this Album and honestly still can’t believe what I just heard. Absolutely insane, generational talent, an Album for the ages. I take back saying ‘30’ is the clear cut Album of the Year. ‘We’re all in this together’ is it. It’s the Album of the Decade for me and we’re only in 2022. I could go on and on but I’m gonna stop here. Thanks for the reaction Jon, killed it as always. UK rap just got a new fan, I’m out.

“God strike me if I’m lying I ain’t crying in this beef unless the tears come tatted on the side of my cheek”. One of my favourite bars on the album

Mate, I was listening to this at the gym this morning and thoroughly enjoyed it, although felt like an emotional wreck listening to Heart Attack whilst trying to do reps on a machine, must've looked a mess!

In Drama, Dave said “Do you believe that I can illustrate what Streatham is then break the fourth wall and base Lesley on my relatives?” On Heart Attack, Dave said “I was in intensive care when I was born, mommy fell down the stairs. Whether I was gonna live or not was somethin' uncertain. I used the word "Fell", with the commas inverted.” Lesley is based on his mother. That’s mad.

We NEED that Ghetts album reaction

A reaction could never be worthy of this album but this is as close as you can get. So raw and honest, super reaction for one of the best records ever released

Definitely react to the Ghetts album, it’s one of the best of the year IMO

This is my fav reaction of yours yet Jon. Heart Attack is definitely one of my favourite songs I’ve probably ever heard

thank you Jon Denton for trying to formulate the feelings we get when listening to this album - you're the best at it

Gotta do the Ghetts album, honestly didn't get the recognition it deserved but it's a fantastic album. Love the vids fam

So impressed by Dave, competing for album of the year AGAIN

Yess, do Ghetts' record, please!

Dave always has those long songs on his album where you just forget about everything and just feel the lyrics

Loving this album so far! and would definitely be here for the Ghetts reaction, please do it!

I feel like Dave is the closest rapper we have to 2pac. Just like pac, Dave is very intelligent for his age and raps about real shit.

37 MINUTE REACTION! I've been waiting for this!

i just realized...fell down the stairs with the commas inverted implies that his mom was pushed down the stairs from domestic abuse. dave is a genius

Unpopular opinion but Dave is the best in the world right now

Honestly listening to the album and then your reaction back to back is great, you picked up on many bars that flew over my head. Great reaction Jon

Not listened to the album yet because I wanted to see your reaction. Was not disappointed, great video.

He’s been my favourite artist since I first heard his blackbox 5/6 years ago, he’s just different to everyone. An unbelievable human who deserves every bit of success he gets, I’m honoured to be listening to him and the album is a masterpiece.

Heart attack is one of the best songs ever made hands down

When the album was announced the first thing I thought was I can't wait to watch your reaction to it. Your videos are always so personal and give a great insight and perspective into the music you are reacting to. This was one of your best and I just wanted to say thank you for providing such genuine and personal reactions , I always leave your video's with a new understanding and appreciation for the music you have reacted to.

Amazing Album, just raised the bar for UK Rap, definitely AOTY for me so far 🔥🔥

Dave the 🐐 fr watching this was like watching my English teacher going thru every line of Macbeth ❤️😂

Dave is only 23 this guy has a wealth of knowledge seeming like he in his 30s near 40

Been waiting for this reaction all day!!

Loved the album, loved the reaction.

Both Sides of a Smile is the best song Dave has ever made.

I've realized subconsciously i use a lot of your reviews for albums I've never heard before almost as a skim over/ second opinion on the music before i actually take the time to wanna give (a new artist to me) a full listening session cause its so hard to find the good in all of the bad these days. but this album here.. i would already buy the Vinyl. such a complete tone. I'll be listening to this alot.

after seeing this reaction, had to sub. i can really feel the emotion in your reactions. deffo one of my fave dave reactions

Im from the US, this is album of the year. So well rounded, masterpiece honestly.

Catch a new meaning every time you listen, truly the highest form of art.

I'm sure a thousand people have said it, but I specifically came to Jon's video to get a native perspective as an American. There's certain concepts that he was able to explain that I just had no clue about - makes me appreciate this incredible album even more.

You're a real one, i almost shed a tear listening to heart attack at the end..

Best album reactions in the game🔥 big up Jon

Look into the Błaszczykowski bar, JD. The meaning behind it is mad!

An instant classic album and instant classic video from the Prophet himself. I can see this being one of the vids I regular, just like the Kiss Land, TPAB, and a select few others.

I'm already watching this reaction the second time because I love it so much. All i do all day is watch your videos, Jon. It's amazing watching someone appreciating music like that. I discover new artists, albums and songs on here, I will forever be thankful for that, really. You helped me get into Carti and now Dave. Keep it up, you're amazing at what you're doing. Best reaction channel on yt, no cap. Aight imma go watch thru your entire channel now adios

shout out Jon, been watching since early rock reacts. only reaction channel i watch. Love how much you appreciate these artists

I dont even wanna see the Ghetts reaction for me, i want to see it for YOU. Its unspeakable masterful Conflict Of Interest is, unlike anything you heard

Yeah man... David has delivered once again... actually wait he has exceeded all expectations. Best part is this body of work will only continue to get better with every listen.

Happy to see have far you’ve come Jon! Been watching since Rock Reacts reacted to X

Phenomenal piece of work yet again from David.

It’s about time that u listen to game over, How I met my ex and my 19th birthday in particular

Seems like you enjoy James blake and just wanted to say he just cameout with a new single you could check out

Great review JD, keep it up bro.

Coming back at the end of the year to watch this masterpiece of reaction

First off absolutely love watching you react Jon it’s truly a blessing to watch you react to something like this, when you listen to something this good & it moves you so much it’s lovely to see. secondly we all as fans of Dave and rap music need to appreciate just how special this young man is, 23 and he’s this tuned in to the world around him what’s going on in the world & just how great of an ear he has for music. He’s by far the best rapper lyricist & storyteller this country has ever seen going across all genres of music not just rap and one of if not the best rapper out there in the world, that’s including everyone in America and I mean everyone it’s not close really in my opinion he’s just better than all of them. Nobody does it like Dave does. This album is a masterpiece and will win countless awards and be spoken about for years to come. 2 albums down in to his career and there both special special records. Cannot wait to see how far this young man can go moving forward it’s actually scary to think what he’s gonna be like in 5/10 years if he’s still making music. Fav tracks are - in the fire, heart attack, we’re all alone, survivors guilt & both sides of a smile.

Yes definately do the ghetts album. Amazing song with dave there.

First reaction video I've watched on your channel, just needed to check I wasn't loosing my mind when I've had this on loop for the past week and thinking to my self how has he topped Psycho drama!?! Needed to see someone else reacting as it gave me goosebumps, tears and hyped me up. Really great video, I'm confident in saying that Dave has just took the spot as the best U.K rapper ever (imo, all music is subjective). Keep up the videos Jon, really enjoyed this and have subscribed.

Yes please with the ghetts album reaction, it’s another masterpiece

Dave has hands down my favorite album of the year thus far. I played "Heart Attack" in the car with my lady and she started tearing up and asked me "Who is this and can I give him a hug?" The pain in Dave's voice on that song is raw and pure, and that song hits you in the heart (no pun intended).

We definitely need a reaction to Conflict of interest🤝💫

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 wow. The bars, the emotions, the craft.

Sorry chip"Dave" has a bigger calling than to respond to you- This album is a classic

Heart Attack is one of the best rap songs ever made

You’re the 🐐. Thank you for your raw, genuine reactions.

it’s crazy how many bars are in heart attack. i feel like it could be like 10 songs with all the bars in it

I'd love to see what Dave and Cole could put together. Both incredible lyricists.

Just a bit of advice for next time When taking in an album it’s important to listen to the pre released singles aswell. They can sound different and hit different when listened to in the context of an album. Even songs you don’t expect.

legendary album, legendary reaction. Big ups.

love the work rate to get this out so quickly, this album is unreal, it’s a moment ❤️👏🏽 Also just incase you wanted to explore more Meekz after his guest verse try out ; Like me (make sure to watch the video, his are always 10/10)

I wanna step down and give the crown to Dave
